The  Comstock,  its  Past  and  Future. 


The  history  of  the  Comstock  is  replete  with  glory 
and  stories  of  great  achievements.  Its  glory  is  the 
glory  of  the  State,  the  Pacific  Coast,  and,  in  no  small 
degree,  of  the  nation.  Its  wondrous  mines  were  the 
first  thing  to  attract  attention  to  Nevada.  The  output 
of  the^e  mines  at  one  time  saved  the  credit  of  the 
country.  Their  wealth  contributed  to  the  upbuilding 
of  San  Francisco  and  some  of  the  principal  cities  of 
the  East  and  Europe. 

A  complete  history  of  the  lode  would  require  vol- 
umes of  matter  and  years  of  preparation.  It  is  not 
the  purpose  of  this  little  volume  to  attempt  anything 
elaborate,  but  to  simply  tell  of  conditions  as  they  are,

and  so  much  of  the  past  as  hears  on  the  present  and 
future. 

The  year  IS^U  inaiked  the  heginning  of  operations, 
and  since  that  time  the  mines  have  produced  the 
enormous  sum  of  over  $500,000,000.  The  claim  has 
l)een  made  that  the  mines  are  worked  out,  hut  there  is 
no  hetter  answer  to  this  statement  than  to  point  to  the 
new  methods  and  macliinery  heing  adopted  and  in- 
stalled to  work  the  mines  to  hetttr  advMutage.  In  the 
hist  three  years  electrical  equipment  has  been  added 
to  nearly  all  the  mines,  and  the  installation  has  made 
a  marked  reduction  in  the  cost  of  operating. 

The  most  important  step  taken  by  the  management 
of  the  mines  in  the  last  few  years  was  the  installation 
of  the  hydraulic  pumps  in  the  C.  &  C.  shaft  about  six 
years  ago.     At  that  time  very  little  work  was  being

done  in  any  of  the  mines,  and  it  was  the  opinion  of 
not  a  few  that  real  mining  here  was  a  thing  of  the 
past.  After  studying  the  situation  the  present  system 
of  hydraulic  elevators  was  installed  and  have  been  in 
successful  operation  ever  since.  To  prove  the  value  of 
the  investment  in  the  pumping  machinery  it  is  only 
necessary  to  state  that  since  the  pumps  were  started 
the  water  has  been  lowered  500  feet  in  that  shaft  and 


DAVIS    DRILL. 


bullion  to  the  value  of  $1,000,000  has  been  extracted 
from  the  mine. 

The  management  then  decided  to  lower  the  water  to 
the  2500  level,  or  500  feet  more.  To  do  this  it  was 
necessary  to  cut  the  largest  underground  station  in 
the  world  to  accommodate  the  necessary  machinery. 
Three  giant  ReiHler  electric  pumps  were  pi  need  in  the 


excavation    and   have  demonstrated  their    ability    to 
lower  the  water. 

It  is  confidently  expected,  and  in  fact  there  is  a 
certainty,  that  the  work  of  the  pumps  will  be  the 
means  of  developing  high-grade  ore  bodies,  not  to  con- 
sider the  ore  that  is  known  to  exist  below  the  present 
water  level.  It  is  also  planned  to  drain  the  Gold  Hill 
mines,;  and  when  this  is  accomplished  the  Comstock  , 
will  once  again  lead  the  bullion  producing  districts 
of  the  #t^M. 

On  the  Brunswick  lode,  east  of  the  Comstock,  work 
has  been  resumed  in  the  properties  where  some  good 
ore  was  extracted  a  few  years  ago.  The  most  advanced 
method  of  prospecting  is  in  use  there — that  of  boring 
into  the  earth  by  the  use  of  the  Davis  drilL 

But  by  far  the  most  interesting  and  important  en- 
terprise- is  the  great  Butters  reduction  plant  in  Six- 
mile  Canyon^  r'J^he  erection  of  the  plant  was  begun 
about  two  years  ago  to  work  the  large  deposits  of  tail- 
ings near  at  hand.  Since  that  time  the  owners  of  the 
enterprise  have  contracted  for  some  of  the  low-grade 
ores  of  the  Comstock.  •  This  city  could  live  for  years 
on  the  latter  resource,  and  when  these  ores — of  which 
there  are  millions  of  tons — begin  to  yield  to  modern 
methods  and  treatment,  the  old  lode  will,  without 
a  doubt,  become  the  best  mining  town  in  the  world. 
Altogether  there  are  many  chances  for  improvement 
and  investment.  The  future  is  bright  for  renewed 
activity,  and  there  is  not  a  property  that  will  not  some 
day  come  to  the  front  again.  There  is  one  hope  that 
the  author  of  this  article  will  take  the  opportunity  to 
express:  Now  that  the  people  have  shown  what  they 
can  do  in  the  matter  of  concerted  action,  in  bringing 
the  carnival  into  real  existence,  let  them  continue  in 
the  same  spirit  to  upbuild  the  old  town.  They  can  do 
it  and  do  it  better  than  they  know.

History  of  the  Carnival. 


The  idea  of  holding  a  carnival  on  the  Comstock  was 
first  mentioned  about  a  year  ago.  At  that  time  assu- 
rances were  received  that  sufficient  money  would  be 
forthcoming  to  carry  the  project  to  a  successful  termi- 
nation. Nothing  further  was  done  in  the  matter  until 
April  of  this  year,  when  the  first  celebration  meeting 
was  held. 

Great  enthusiasm  prevailjed  and  it  was  evident  that 
the  old  Comstock  would  have  a  celebration  that  would 
eclipse  anything  heretofore  attempted  in  the  State. 
Committees  were  appointed  to  solicit  funds  and  money 
was  subscribed  at  a  rate  that  surprised  even  the  most 
sanguine. 

The  matter  began  to  receive  the  attention  of  the  out- 
side world  and  applications  began  to  come  from  many 
quarters  for  concessions  and  privileges.  At  home  it 
aroused  the  public  from  a  state  of  lethargy,  everyone 
seemed  to  enter  into  the  spirit  of  the  occasion,  and  an 
enthusiasm  that  can  hardly  be  equalled  anywhere  was 
the  outcome  of  the  decision  to  celebrate. 

The  various  committees  have  labored  long  and  faith- 
fully. It  has  been  the  desire  of  every  person  connected 
with  the  carnival  to  leave  nothing  undone  that  would 
add  to  the  pleasure  of  those  who  will  be  in  attendance. 
How  well  they  have  succeeded  is  for  the  public  to  de- 
termine. 

The  Official  Carnival  Program  is  offered  to  the  pub- 
lic in  the  hope  that  it  may  be  of  some  value.  The  in- 
formation that  it  contains  has  been  carefully  compiled 
and  comprises  practically  cuerything  that  will  be  of 
value  to  visitors.

Trib. 


On  the  Comstock  this  remarkable  liniment  is  well 
known.  It  does  what  it  promises  so  well,  so  thor- 
oughly, and  it  is  so  easy  to  use — so  clean  and  conven- 
ient— that  it  is  a  general  favorite. 

Trib  does  not  promise  to  cure  everything,  but  it 
does  fulfill  every  promise. 

Trib  is  the  most  effective  remedy  yet  found  for 
sprains  and  bruises.  For  insect  bites  and  stings,  chaf- 
ings,  bruises  and  ''hives"  it  is  the  best  application 
known. 

Druggists  sell  Trib -25c,  50c,  |l.  The  50c  is  the 
economical  size  for  most  uses.

JOHN    L.  GODFREY,   C    Street   Near   5utton    Ave. 


Carson  City,  the  seat  of  government  of  the  State  of 
Nevada,  is  beautifully  located  in  Eagle  Valley,  with 
the  snow-clad  Sierras  on  the  west  and  the  Sweetwater 
range  on  the  south.  It  is  essentially  a  healthy  city 
having  an  abundant  supply  of  pure  mountain  water  ^ 
good  drainage,  etc.,  and  bears  the  reputation  of  being 
one  of  the  cleanest  cities  in  the  country. 

Its  citizens  are  prosperous  and  progressive.  Any- 
thing that  will  in  anyway  contribute  to  the  material 
advancement  of  the  town  is  energetically  planned  and 
carried  out.  The  business  houses  whose  announce- 
ments appear  on  these  pages  are  progressive  and  are 
recommended  to  the  public  for  their  fair  dealing  and 
their  studious  attention  to  the  wants  of  their  patrons. 

The  State  Capitol,  Orphans'  Home,  State  Prison, 
Federal  Building,  State  Printing  Omoe,  V.  &  T.  Rail- 
road shops,  United  States  Mint  and  Governnient  Indian 
School  are  located  there  and  furnish  employment  to  a 
large  number  of  men.  The  city  is  also  a  distril)utin<y 
point    for    the  large  siirrt^unding   territory.      It  is   llie 


opinion  of  well-posted  men  that  the  city  is  on  the  eve 
of  a  period  that  will  be  the  most  prosperous  in  its 
history.  Capital  is  seeking  investment  within  or  near 
Carson.  Several  promising  mines  are  being  developed 
and  the  various  other  industries  are  in  a  prosperous 
condition. 

Carson  City  was  the  first  place  in  the  State  to  hold 
a  carnival,  and  in  1901  held  a  celebration  that  will 
long  be  remembered.  It  is  an  ideal  place  for  such 
affairs.  Its  broad  streets  and  shady  lawns  and  park 
afford  ample  conveniences  for  the  requirements  of  a 
carnival  and  street  fair.  Next  year  Carson  is  to  hold 
another  great  celebration,  the  exnct  nature  of  which 
has  not  yet  been  deterniin*  d,  and,  if  anytbing,  will 
eclipse  the  carnival  of   1901.

The  Comstock  offers  many  interesting  sights  for  vis- 
itors. There  is  hardly  a  mine  or  hoisting  works  that 
does  not  offer  some  attraction.  All  have  large  and 
complicated  machinery,  and  are  complete  in  every 
detail.  All  are  within  easy  reach  and  are  sights 
well  worth  seeing. 

The  Butters  plant,  in  Six-mile  Canyon,  is  one  of  the 
largest  reduction  works  on  the  continent,  and  every- 
body who  can  spare  the  time  should  visit  the  works. 
A  drive  of  thirty  minutes  through  a  picturesque  can- 
yon will  bring  a  person  to  the  place: 

For  the  more  adventurous  a  climb  to  the  summit  of

best — through  Taylor  ravine — requires  about  an  hour 
and  a  half  for  the  ascent. 

The  Nevada  Brewery  grounds  offer  a  delightful 
place  to  rest.  Plenty  of  shade  trees  and  pretty  little 
summer  houses  attract  many  people  regularly.  Dur-

for  visitors,  and  you  will  never  regret  making  a  visit

Reno,  the  metropolis  of  Nevada,  is  situated  near  the 
western  boundary  of  the  State  on  the  banks  of  the 
Truckee  river.  In  the  last  few  years  it  has  had  a  mar- 
velous growth,  and  this  growth  is  more  than  a  mere 
boom.  It  is  estimated  that  the  assessed  valuation  of 
property  within  the  city  this  year  will  be  one  million 
dollars  more  than  last  year.        BonCTOft  LlbflTT 

Reno  is  the  seat  of  several  large  and  growing  enter- 
prises and  is  well  situtted  for  nearly  every  class  of 
manufacturing.  The  Truckee  is  one  of  the  best  power 
streams  in  the  west  and  is  being  used  more  and  more 
for  this  purpose  every  year.  The  surrounding  country 
contains  some  of  the  best  farming  land  in  the  world 
and  its  products  are  increasing  in  value  with  every 
liarvest.  There  is  also  a  decided  activity  in  mining, 
for  within  a  few  miles  of  the  city  lies  the  famous  Wede- 
kind,  nn<i  all  the  northern  mining  country  must  draw 
on  Reno  for  its  supplies. 

The  population  of    Reno  is  estimated    to  be   about 


10,000.  Within  the  last  few  years  building  operations 
have  been  very  active,  and  some  very  fine  structures 
have  been  erected  that  would  grace  a  city  many  times 
larger.  Among  the  industries  of  the  town  that  deserve 
special  mention  are  the  Nevada  Engineering  Works, 
the  Riverside  Mills,  Flanigan  Warehouse  Company, 
and  numerous  others  whose  dealings  and  operations 
cover  a  wide  range  of  business  and  a  large  field. 

The  city  is  the  seat  of  the  State  University,  and 
its  public  schools  rank  with  those  found  anywhere. 
I'he  people  are  all  prosperous  and  progressive,  and  are 
quick  to  grasp  the  many  opportunities  offered  in  the 
town.  Business  is  active  and  new  enterprises  are 
started  nearly  every  day.  The  city  is  substantially 
built,  the  homes  are  among  the  finest  on  the  coast,  and 
altogether  Reno  is  a  city  of  which  its  citizens  may 
well  feel  proud.  The  Southern  Pacific  harf  lately  com- 
menced the  erection  of  extensive  shops  near  the  town, 
and  when  completed  they  will  add  materially  to  the 
population  and  income.  P^or  investment,  the  entire 
west  offers  no  better  inducements  than  Reno.  Threii 
railroads  offer  ample  transportation  facitities,  and  an 
abundance  of  cheaj)  power  is.  available  for  any  de- 
mands.

Joe  Josephs,  Superintendent  of  the  Orphans'  Home, 
came  to  Virginia  City  forty-three  years  ago.  At  one 
time  he  was  Deputy  County  Clerk  of  Storey,  and 
served  as  Clerk  of  the  Supreme  Court  from  1890  to 
1895,  after  which  the  office  was  consolidated  with  that 
of  Secretary  of  State.  Mr.  Josephs  has  been  promi- 
nently identified  with  fraternal  orders  and  has  been 
an  active  worker  in  the  ranks  of  political  party  for 
years. 

Four  years  ago  he  and  his  estimable  wife  were  ap- 
pointed respt*ctively  Superintendent  and  Matron  of 
the  Orphans'  Home.  This  important  charge  has  been 
conducted  by  Mr.  .Josephs  in  a  humane  and  conscien- 
tious manner.  His  whole  energy,  the  full  sympathy 
of  his  nature  has  been  devoted  to  making  the  lot  of 
(hese  unfortunates  happy  and  contented.  His  care- 
ful management  and  business  abilty,  applied  to  the 
finances  of  the  institution,  has  been  satisfactory  to  the 
State,  a  fact  evidenced  by  his  reappointment  for  four 
years  more. 

Joe  Josephs  is  identified  with  the  State's  history  in 
a  business  and  political  line,  and  his  long  years  of 
residence  in  Nevada  have  been  marked  with  honor. 


John  L.  Considine,  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was 
born  in  Gold  Hill.  Upon  his  graduation  from  the 
high  school  of  this  city  he  followed  the  occupation  of 
mail  clerk  for  a  number  of  years.  He  then  entered 
the  newspaper  business  and  still  retains  control  of  the 
Evening   Chronicle.     Early    this   year  Mr.  Considine 


was  appointed  Warden  of  the- State  Prison,  one  of  the 
most  important  positions  in  the  State. 

As  a  writer  and  editor  he  occupies  a  high  position  in 
journalism,  and  words  from  his  trenchant  pen  have 
often  made  themselves  felt  in  political  and  other  cir- 
cles. In  the  field  of  politics  he  is  an  active  and  astute 
worker,  and  is  easily  the  most  prominent  of  the 
younger  element.  Though  still  a  young  man  he  has 
reached  the  heights  that  usually  require  years  to  attain, 
and  those  who  know  him  will  not  say  that  he  will  not 
go  higher.
